Good Friday

G od's grace and mercy were surely revealed,
O n the cruel cross on which His Son was killed.
O bedience to His Father's plan of redemption,
D emanded Christ die to procure our salvation.

F reely Jesus laid down His life,
R evealing a love so pure, so rife.
I ndescribable the pain He endured,
D ying our death, our salvation secured.
A ll hell danced with glee as it seemed they had won,
Y et Sunday was coming with a Risen Son!
